A, X. YERKES. Publisher.
THE BULL PUP VICTORIOUS.

The case of A. X. Yerkes VS.. the
County Commissioners of Ciallatin
County, came up for trial on Friday last,
all the remaider of that day and the one
half OF the next was taken up by the
case. The jury, after being out about
three hours, returned a verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum of $3G4.25 and costs.
The amount sued for was 81 500, just
half of the amount of printing given to
other parties during the existence of
Yerkes' contract from October %, 1885,
to September l, 1SS7-there being no
means of determining at present how
much wolk was done since September
until the expiration of Yerkes' contract,
Oct. 25th, 1887. By what means the
inry arrived at the verdict Of $364.24 is
past finding ont. Naturally the case was
one hard to solve by those u~nacquainted
with printing matters, and from
present appearances it appears as if the
jury was no exception to the rule.
The history of the case is briefly as
follows:
Last March Commissioners Maxey and
Carver, in the absence of Lamme, gave
notice to Yerkes that they considered
his printing contract null and
void, and they proposed to let
a new contract. They demanded bids,
and and although Yerkes' bid was %
per cent. lower han his competitors,
Carver, with the aid of Probate Judge
Carson, who claimed to be a printer, ()
succeeded in knocking YeIkes ont of
time. Yerkes began snit at this term of
court, for the recovery of 81 500 damages
for work given to others during the time
his contract was in force. At the first
step Judge McLeary decided that he had
a legal contract, and then came the work
of proving damages, with the result as
given above.
The case was holly contested by both
parties from the outset. Campbell &
Armstrong being for the plaintiff, and
Prosecuting Attorney Henry for the de
Tense. The defense objected to forl
jurymen, and after their places had beer
filed, the case proceeded.
In his plea before the jury, Mr.. Henry
caused q great deal of amusement, by
saving that there had been a time whel
Yerkes set a great deal of the type re
quired for his newspaper-,hat wa
when he had the county printing. Blu
now, since he attended strictly To til
editorial and reportorial duties, he wa
making n most excellent paper of tn
CHRONICLE, the crop note feature deserv
ing universal praise. Since he did no
have to bother with the county printing
he sported a plug hat and a bull pup
and in time would be wearing a damon;
pin, thus proving, argued the attorne,
that he was better off without than wit
the county printing. It is not general
known how much Mr.. Henry got 70
advertising the CHRONICLE.
Hon.F X. Armstrong closed for tn
plaintiff in the style characteristic @
himself. He calmly covered every poin
of the notable trial. D. G. Campbell
looked carefully to the minor details {
the case. and to him was assigned III
laborious duty of questioning the vii
nesses.

1t must be agreed now that the inter
state law is n good thing and
that it has come to stay. 1t Will be
changed somewhat, but the main and

added. The law is in the hands of able
men, who will suggest the proper

have rightfully come to the conclusion
that the government must interpose re-
strictions upon the great railroad COM

people, and they will insist that the
interstate law remains a law.
